Chapter2— Kena Upanishad
By whom commanded does the mind alight on its objects? By whom directed does the first breath go forth? By whom urged do men speak this speech? What god directs the eye and the ear? 2That which is not expressed by speech, but by which speech is expressed: know that to be Brahman, not this which people here worship. 3That which is not thought by the mind, but by which, they say, the mind is thought: know that to be Brahman, not this which people here worship. 4That which is not seen by the eye, but by which the eye is seen: know that to be Brahman, not this which people here worship. 5That which is not heard by the ear, but by which the ear is heard: know that to be Brahman, not this which people here worship. 6That which is not smelled by the nose, but by which the nose smells: know that to be Brahman, not this which people here worship. 7He who knows it as not known by the senses, but as the knower of the senses, knows Brahman. He who knows it as not known by the mind, but as the knower of the mind, knows Brahman. 8He who knows it as not known by the breath, but as the knower of the breath, knows Brahman. He who knows it as not known by the eye, but as the knower of the eye, knows Brahman.
